Red Sox at Phillies: June 28th through June 30th

Red Sox 45-32, 2nd Place in A.L. East, 1/2 game behind the YankeesPhillies 49-30, 1st Place in N.L. East, 4 1/2 games ahead of the Braves

First Game: The first time these two franchises squared off was back in Game 1 of the 1915 World Series on October 8, 1915. Grover Alexander pitched a complete game for the win, besting Ernie Shore and the Red Sox. The Red Sox would win the next four games to win the Series. I'm sincerely hoping the Phils get a chance to even the score this October.

At the Ballpark: It's going to be electric at the ballpark over the next few days, which is worth more than any freebie or promotion. Nevertheless, all kids will receive a W.B. Mason/Phillies collectible truck on Wednesday night.
